The roles of histidine and tyrosine residues in the active site of collagenase in Grimontia hollisae.

Abstract excerpt

Collagenase from the Grimontia hollisae strain 1706B (Ghcol) is a zinc metalloproteinase with the zinc-binding motif H492EXXH496. It exhibits higher collagen-degrading activity than the collagenase from Clostridium histolyticum, which is widely used in industry. We previously examined the pH and temperature dependencies of Ghcol activity; Glu493 was thought to contribute acidic pKa (pKe1), while no residue was...
